[Spoken:]

- You're not forgetting about tonight, are you? I left your name on the door and everything

- There are not gonna be too many punks?

- John would you stop worrying about the punks? They're just a bunch of kids with growing pangs, and they'll probably be doctors and lawyers someday

[Verse 1]

I fear to see the day

My friends all mate and move away

Will I grow up inside?

Won't ever happen to me

The city sights

The business types

I can see them, where are you?

[Chorus]

Bye for now

I didn't mean to let you down

I didn't mean to drive you away

Bye for now

Now that you're not around

So many things I'd like to say

[Verse 2]

I see you and I think

Have I found the missing link

The piece that holds us together

If I had my way

I'd hear you say that it's okay

Friendship should last forever

[Chorus]

Bye for now

I didn't mean to let you down

I didn't mean to drive you away

Bye for now

Now that you're not around

So many things I'd like to say

I didn't mean to let you down [x5]

Never meant to let you down

I didn't mean to let you down
